Kelda, applause for your efforts. I have my grandmother's exact same machine - except she bought it new in a smallish Wisconsin, USA Singer Sewing shop. I learned to set the tensions and clean and oil and lubricate the machine when I was about 6. (Gram was no hand with tensions at all.) Even helped Gramp install a new treadle cord and the staple that joins the ends. I have sewn from then on. That machine and its associations have a powerful effect on me. Watch it. Like mine, there may be something magical about your machine and you too will be enchanted.
Anyway, Gram's machine is set up in my sewing room and when we lose power the two of us sew. Worried yet? 😊
Again, the clapping you hear comes from Florida. And me.
A.
